Hi Joel,

Yes MS4W is used in thousands of production deployments around the 
world. (and at this year's FOSS4G event in Barcelona we found that MS4W 
battles with MapServer-Unix for being one of the fastest WMS servers in 
many situations:

If you run into any walls please contact me directly, and my team can 
assist your group with your deployment of MS4W.
